Product Description
The Rockwell Automation 2711P-RW3 is a 256 MB internal CompactFlash card for PanelView Plus logic modules, retaining data even without power. While pre-installed, it's replaceable if faulty. Handle with care to avoid electrostatic discharge, ensuring proper grounding. Replacement requires RSView ME version 3.10 or later; upgrade older terminals first. Located behind a safety cover on the PanelView Plus logic module, replace the card after disconnecting power and loosening the retaining screw. After replacement, copy the configuration settings from the old card's ".MER" file to the new internal card via the terminal's settings, then test by powering on the PanelView Plus and launching the ".MER" file.
Is Your Device Showing These Signs?
The Allen Bradley 2711P-RW3 HMI commonly experiences issues such as a failed backlight, resulting in a dim or unreadable display, requiring backlight replacement. Touchscreen unresponsiveness or inaccurate calibration is a frequent problem, often fixed by recalibrating or replacing the touchscreen overlay. Communication errors with the PLC, stemming from faulty communication ports or incorrect configuration settings, demand troubleshooting of serial or Ethernet connections and verification of protocol settings. Power supply failures, indicated by a non-responsive unit, necessitate power supply repair or replacement. Memory corruption, leading to application errors or data loss, requires memory module replacement or firmware re-flashing.
Technical specifications
The Rockwell Automation 2711P-RW3 is a 256 MB CompactFlash card used for data storage in PanelView Plus logic modules. Unlike RAM, it retains data when power is off. While pre-installed, it's replaceable, but susceptible to electrostatic discharge, requiring careful handling. Replacement requires RSView ME version 3.10 or newer; older versions must be upgraded first. The card is located on the back of the PanelView Plus, accessible after removing a safety cover. Power must be disconnected during replacement. After installation, the configuration settings from the old card's ".MER" file need to be copied to the new card via the terminal's settings, using the old card as an external source. Finally, the new card should be tested by powering on the PanelView Plus and launching the ".MER" file.
